Sacramento Section FFA Team
Get to know the leaders of our section!
Teddy Lopez
President
Sacramento Section, my name is Teddy Lopez, and it is a privilege to serve as your president this year! I am from Liberty Ranch High School and will be a senior. During my journey within our organization, I have participated in Novice and Advanced Parliamentary Procedure, Impromptu, Prepared Public Speaking, and Marketing Plan. I have earned my state degree from my multiple SAE projects including working at a horse stable and raising an animal for fair. My experiences within our organization, my SAE projects, and the time spent at Liberty Ranch have shown me the benefits of the three-circle model. Sacramento Section I look to expand upon each circle with you guys to ensure that we are developing well-rounded members, students, and citizens!
Allyson Jolly

Hi Sacramento Section FFA, my name is Allyson Jolly and I am your 2020-2021 Sac Section Vice President! I will be a junior at Ponderosa High School this coming school year. Ever since I was in middle school, I have had a passion for this wonderful organization. I was a member of the first discovery class at Ponderosa in eighth grade. I compete in public speaking, horse judging, and I raise goats, horses, and poultry. Also I will be competing in State Impromptu this year. In addition to FFA, I have been in 4H for eight years holding several leadership positions and being a teen/junior leader for several projects. I hold a position on our county 4H Volunteer Management Board. I am also involved in community service through Key Club, Girl Scouts, and a non-profit that I am part of called Warm Winters. I am on the Ponderosa High School and Kirkwood ski team. I am so excited for this year and I can’t wait to meet you all!
